Green Stories wants to champion the cause of independent filmmakers and storytellers from India and across Asia to build a network of communicators committed to creating impact and documenting our changing world. To provide and create this space we need to support voices from this part of the world to be amplified globally.
​
We need global leaders from all walks of life to help this community grow and thrive and inspire independent storytelling.
Kaitlin Yarnall
Chief Storytelling Officer, National Geographic Society
At the National Geographic Society, we believe in the power of stories to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Central to the power of our stories are the storytellers that dedicate their time, talent and creativity in telling them. For this reason we're honored to work with Green Stories to further support storytellers in India and southeast Asia that are dedicating themselves to bringing the world stories that will lead to illumination and protection.
Hilary Sparrow
Head of Communications and Content for The Climate Pledge at Amazon
Storytelling has an unparalleled ability to change hearts and minds. And as our planet faces unprecedented challenges driven by climate change, it’s never been more important to tell the stories of our wildlife and their environments. It’s critical we cultivate the next generation of wildlife storytellers in India, South Asia and southeast Asia and Green Stories will play an important role empowering wildlife filmmaking.
Jannat Gargi
Executive Producer and Creative Director
I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of the very first Green Stories to usher in the new voices in nonfiction environmental filmmaking across India and S.E. Asia. Now more than ever, there is an urgency to support these untold stories which have the power to be effective tools to spark conversation, drive action and inspire meaningful change in this part of the world.
Pragna Parsotam-Kok
National Geographic Explorer,
NEWF Executive Director
Stories have always held the power to impact how we see and interact with the world around us. Through the people who share their purpose-driven stories and perspectives, empathy is born. And so, with Green Stories we connect, feel inspired, resonate and take action. I am deeply honoured to serve as an advisor for Green Stories and support an expanding community of Asia's wildlife and environment filmmakers.
